She kidnapped a woman so she could eat her baby and turn it into a hag like herself. That’s how hags reproduce.

This needs to be on billboards in every swing state in the country.

Trump says the civilian award is “better” because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. “They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead.”

“She [Adelson] gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she got it for — and that’s through committees and everything else.”

I mean he's already insulted veterans so much that I struggle to see this making any difference. Remember when he called fallen soldiers "losers"^[1] and that he "prefers his war heroes that don't get captured"?^[2]

[–] UnpopularCrow 8 points 3 weeks ago

You aren’t wrong that his track record on veterans is atrocious and his brainwashed base doesn’t care. But if it can convince a couple thousand people teetering to stay at home (or even better vote Harris), then it is worth it.

He defending the medal he gave that hag Adelson?

She literally lives in Isreal 24/7, where she doesnt have to worry about her rights as a woman (like she did anyway shes a billionaire), and her lich-ass throws money to fund horrible people because she herself is a horrible person.

Keep track of the names of Trump megadonors because at some point soon it'll be time to eat.
